[opensuse] software manager in 11.2
Hello: Just installed 11.2. Yast software manager quits after every installation and I have to start it again. As I remember this is a known bug in 11.1. How come could not it be fixed during the last year? Or my setup is wrong?

I have the same thing. Then you have to wait while it digs thru all the repositories again. Which would be fine if it could do that quickly, but its still fairly slow. Very irritating. I seem to remember past releases would return so you could keep it idling as you discover more things you want to install.

/etc/sysconfig/yast2:PKGMGR_ACTION_AT_EXIT you might want to set to "restart". /etc/sysconfig/yast2 also includes a list of valid settings.

Yes, that solved it. Thanks Lars. Why not a settings/options button in yast? -- If stupidity got us into this mess, then why can't it get us out? - Will Rogers -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

That's great, John, except that for those who read the above should realise that the third last line - "restart" - is part of the comment line/s (those starting with the '#' ) above it and is not a new command instruction "restart".

Everything is allowed! No limits! What we've seen was very likely caused by the text editor in use. This list is driven by a simple plain old or better young mailing list software named mlmmj (maling list management made joyful). But one more comment to the /etc/sysconfig/yast2:PKGMGR_ACTION_AT_EXIT suggestion. I'm not sure if the feature using this setting is available in the YaST of openSUSE 11.1.

Is OK :-) . The only trouble is that the real oldies and adherents to the "old, old, school" insist that text messages get wrapped at the 72nd column - otherwise the oldies go into a state of apoplexy.

If it isn't there in your config file then simply add it at the end of the yast2 to look like this: ## Type: list(close,restart,summary) ## Default: "close" # Set the default behavior of the package manager when package installation has finished. # Possible actions are: # close - just finish the package manager # restart - go back to the package manager, install/remove more packages # summary - display an installation summary dialog, there user can decide whether to finish or restart # The summary dialog is always displayed when an installation error has occured.
